What Students Say
Likes
- The faculty is extremely accessible and helpful. They are always willing to give personalized guidance and time to the students who ask for extra help. It makes handling academic stress and difficulties much more manageable.
- The entire staff places heavy emphasis on the mental wellbeing of the student. There is an active conversation about mental health and it really eliminates the feeling of alienation you get when you are not doing well.
- The campus is green and eco-friendly with a strict ban on usage of disposable plastics. Cleanliness is given utmost importance and it's always a pleasant experience roaming around on campus.
Dislikes
- The experience of college life as a day scholar seems to be lacking as they tend to miss out on most club and cultural activities. This can lead to alienation and a disconnect with the hostellers.
- The 5% cap on On Duty leaves is a barrier to being highly active in club activities. This should be increased or eliminated altogether to boost the club culture even further and increase active participation.
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum is very well organized with clearly laid out course handouts which elucidate the reasoning and learning outcomes from each part of the syllabus. It makes the student pay even more attention to the course when they know why they are studying that particular topic and how it helps them in the long run. The timing of exams is regular enough to keep the student healthily occupied with academics but not so hectic that there is no room for other activities. Skills that you learn via the curriculum form the base for what you will be applying in real-life projects and internships.
Internships Opportunities
Internships start from second year onwards. You get opportunities for internships during the semester break. The college also provides internships in the 3rd year which can be converted to a PPO(Pre Placement Offer).
Placement Experience
Campus placements start from 4th year(7th and 8th semester). The exact details are provided by CGDC(Career Guidance and Development Centre). The highest CTC in 2021-22 was 33.6 LPA. The average CTC in 2021-22 was 8.51 LPA and the placement percentage was 97%.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fee structure is transparent and openly accessible via the BML website. For a BTech hosteller without a scholarship, the fee(hostel+tuition) is 5 lakhs per annum(2+3). I am on a Dean's scholarship for academic excellence basis my JEE percentile of 91.3. It is a 100% scholarship on tuition fees. Apart from the 100% scholarship, there are multiple options available which range from 5-10% to 50% and 75-100%. The scholarships are given on a first come first serve basis so apply at the earliest convenience. Criteria and types of scholarships are available on the website as well.
Campus Life
The club culture at BMU is a great way to spend your time productively, it's always active with one or the other event taking place all the time. It is a very happening place to be in and there is a lot to learn. It is a great icebreaker for networking with seniors and batchmates alike. It makes being on campus so much more interesting and the exposure you get is super helpful. The library has just been expanded and it is super clean and pretty. You can book cabins for group study sessions and projects or study alone in isolated carrels.
Hostel Facilities
I live in a triple-sharing apartment. We get our own balcony and a living room with 2 sofas, a center table, a sink, kitchen cabinets, a microwave, and a mini fridge. We also get our own bathroom with 2 showers, 2 basins and 2 toilets. The apartment has 3 rooms so the facilities are shared among 9 people. There is a water cooler right outside and a washing machine as well. The mess is included as part of the hostel fees. My hostel fees are 2LPA.
Admission
The admission process is very well-defined and procedural. There is clear communication via mail and an admissions counselor is assigned to each student to guide them along the way. BMU conducts BMUSAT but it is optional. You get better scholarship opportunities via your JEE score.
Faculty
The faculty-to-student ratio is around 60:1 in BTech, and even lesser in law, management, and liberal studies. Many of the faculty live on campus and even those that don't make it a point to set aside time for personal queries and guidance. You can always reach out to them and speak freely and they are more friendly rather than strict professional figures. They make managing academic stress so much easier and are always willing to push deadlines for valid reasons.
Interview Experience
No, there wasn't any interview as such. The criteria for admission is passing your 12th examination. You can apply for admission via the BMU website and the admissions cell reaches out to you very quickly.
